Q.
Search Companion Starts If I
Double-Click a Folder or Drive. I believe I was previously
infected. Now my system is stable. Right now, my DRIVE and FILE FOLDER & FOLDER,
whenever I click on it, it goes directly to search command.
Drive icon
When I view thru FOLDER OPTIONS > FILE TYPES > ADVANCED, only the command
find there's no way for me to edit nor change.
Folder Icon
For this, it has the open command, but i could not execute by opening the
folder properly.
Is there a register key that I could replace or anything else I could do, other
than reformatting my windows or go for System Restore? What will it happen if I
opt for
System Restore? All my files gone?
I hope I have been very clear about my problem.
Thanks

This is an addition to two fixes that I had listed in another newsletter.
Any of the four fixes may work for you. This has been a big headache for
several people in the past few weeks.
If you
double-click a
drive or folder, Search Companion may start and the drive
or folder may not open. 'Search' will be the top most in the right-click context
menu for a folder or drive. This usually happens after adding/modifying the
File Folder or Drive entries via the Folder Options
File Types dialog, as an attempt to add additional context menu items such as
Command Prompt here, Print Directory for folders or
drives.
Quick Fix:
Click Start, Run and type this
command:
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
Manual registry fix
To fix the problem manually,
open
Registry Editor and navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Directory \
shell
-and-
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Drive \
shell
1. In the right-pane, locate and
click the (Default) value
2. Click Modify on the Edit menu
3. Type the word none in the
Value data box, and then click OK
4. Exit Registry Editor.
Let me know if you need anything else.
